Just finished reading the Brief filed by the prosecution in U.S. v Emerson appeal in the 5th district of Texas. The Governments arguments rests on two things. 1. Prior case law, from U.S. v Miller to all of the lower federal cases since. They are once again relying upon their house of cards to support their claims. 2. Pure emotionalism. For example here is an excerpt " in all too many painful cases the only difference between a battered woman and a dead woman is a gun. Though domestic violence is the most under reported crime in America, it is still the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15 and 44." Hey they are right! The only difference between a battered woman and a dead woman is a gun…. So lets make sure that all of those battered women have guns and know how to use them.
This brief is sickening to read. So many lies and half truths in it, it is ridiculous. Anyway, I was curious to see what the opposition had to say in the case. Same o, same o. You can go to any board on the net and get the same debate out of most anti-gunners. Hopefully I'll be able to get copies of the briefs by Emerson and some of the amicus briefs…. If anyone has others please let me know I'm interested in reading them.
P.S. if anyone wants a copy please e-mail me and I'll shoot it back to you…. To long to post here as it is over 50 pages. Takes a lot of pages to list most of the lower federal court cases and give a description of each.

The debate is not about guns,
but rather who has the ultimate power to rule,
the People or Government.
RKBA!
